New Nintendo news from German press conference...

Nintendo's press conference at the Games Convention in Leipzig is a wrap! Read on for a summary of what has been announced...

As reported earlier Nintendo announced the European release date (November 4th) and price (69 quid) for the Game Boy. The company also said it will be releasing the handheld in four colours. Click here to check out the dedicated news article containing more info and screens.

Nintendo continued the conference announcing it is releasing Mario Smash Football bundled with a pearl white GameCube on November 18th. We like the sound of that! For more information on the announcement click here.

Nintendo also announced (again) it is releasing the Play-Yan in Europe, which allows you to play MP3 and MPG4 files through your Game Boy or DS. A date has yet to be determined.

Even more interesting is the fact Nintendo announced it will be releasing two new DS colours in Europe! The new colours will be Pink and Blue and are slated for a release on October 7th.

It was said that the DS has already shifted 160,000 in Germany alone! Celebrating this Nintendo continued saying it is planning in releasing Mario Kart for the Nintendo DS November 11th. Also, the non-games Brain Exercise and Brain Train will hit the European shelves this year.

And that was it regarding the press conference! Unfortunately, no news on the Revolution, but we did get some sweet announcements from Nintendo of Europe. More as it breaks.

Already new about the pink and blue colours for the DS, in fact... I'm pretty sure I've seen them... First I've head of the mp3/mp4 player add-on though (although it's probably old news).

I think it means Micro. I just copied and pasted from Cube-Europe, so they probably forgot to add Micro.

And for you idiots out there, no they're not talking about AMERICAN Football. That's the European title for Super Mario Strikers (Soccer game announced at E3 months ago).

That was a bit harsh.

Motherf--

Damn that ruined my hopes. I love football.

You're lucky, you get the pink DS and we Americans don't.

So people are idiots for getting american football confused with what UK calls soccer? We don't share the exact same cultures you know.

Anyway, they're getting Super Mario Strikers before we do? What is this? They're supposed to be behind the US in everything! *shot*

You know, noobs who don't know better and all. I'm just clarifying. That's all.

And Europe has been getting quite a few games before US and Japan for a while now.

Like DK: King of Swing. >:(

The truth is harsh, oh thou follower of a sport which despite it's name doesn't contain that much foot on ball action at all.

Well you can clarify without insulting people who don't know everything about every other culture. >_>

fútbol lol

Yeah, you guys got Bubble Bobble Old & New about a year and a half before it came out here. XD

We have Trace Memory already ^^
And it rocks teh House!
It's a bit short, but the replay value is pretty high since it has two goals.

You realize that I learned Europe had a different form of football when I was three right
